The management of the property is excellent and you are able to reach them by text very easily. They came out the first night and fixed a few issues I found (window downstairs that wouldn’t close and a clogged tub). I was there during 2 winter storms and they brought plenty of firewood over to make sure I had enough if the power went out. Overall a great experience and the management is top notch, house is in wonderful shape, quiet location not far from hiking, activities and there isn’t anything more you could ask for.

This was a great home base for paddling on the Nantahala and Tuckasegee rivers, as well as Bryson City. Nice and secluded, very peaceful stay.

Too far out of town. Oven was dirty. Setting was beautiful. Called to get someone to unstop the toilet but had to leave a message.
